The ribs 3 may also have curved sides. <IMAGE>
Description
2263915 LIQUID-PERMEABLE TOPSHEET FOR BODY FLUID ABSORBENT ARTICLES This
invention relates to a liquid-permeable made of thermoplastic resin used for body fluid articles such as disposable diapers and sanitary Conventionally, nonwoven fabric, hermoplas--c sheet or the like has been used as -cermeable toDsheet covering an absorbent core of absorbent articles.
topsheet absorbent napkins. perforated a liquidbody fluid Obviously it is desired that body fluid absorbency of such articles should be as rapid as possible and this will be effectively achieved, for example, by orienting flow of 2-4d on a topsheet or by controlling a diffusion the body fof the body flU4 .d in a predetermined direction so that the body fluid may rapidly spread over the entire surface of L-he absorbent core. While a topsheet made of nonwoven -Fabric is preferable in that a certain degree of diffusion can be expected under a capillary effect occurring between component fibres of the nonwoven fabric and the body fluid, it is difficult to realize rapid and direction-controlled diffusion of the body fluid since density of the nonwoven fabric for such application is limited by a requirement that a touch of the topsheet should be soft for user's skin. When the perforated sheet is employed as the topsheet, on the other hand, the body fluid smoothly flows on the sheet surface but can not be direction-controlled.
Accordingly, it is an object of the invention to provi - de a liquid-permeable topsheet made ofthermoplastic resin so improved that a unique rib structure thereof flow of body fluid to be controlled in a predetermined direction.
n 1 1 nC.7 = a The object set forth above is achieved, according to the invention, by a liquid-permeable topsheet madeof t tic resin for body fluid absorbent articles, said Lhermoplas-L liquid-permeable topsheet comprising a plurality of first direction ribs each comprising a top longitudinally extending in a first direction and opposite sides curved down-ward from said top and longitudinally extending also in the first direction, and a plurality of second direction ribs each having a top longitudinally extending in a second direction, these first and second direction ribs crossing one another. Each pair of adjacent first direction ribs and each pair of adjacent second direction ribs crossing said pair of adjacent first direction ribs define each liquid-permeable opening. At respective crossings of these first and second direction ribs, the tops of the second 1 direction ribs are connected with the sides of the first direction ribs so as to form a crossed rib structure which is the most important feature of the invention.
With the topsheet having such rib structure, a plurality of first direction ribs extend in parallel to one another in the first direction and each pair of adjacent first direction ribs is held by the second direction ribs be spaced _from each other by a given distance. The tops of the second direction ribs are connected to the sides of t Eir-st direction ribs and thereby each pair of adjacent the -L 'J-st direction ribs define a groove extending in the first direction and havina at its bottom the second -'bs and the openings. The groove facilitates Eluid to flow in the first direction rather than d-;'.- -ection which is transverse thereto.
direction the body in the The inventlon will be described by way of example with reference to the attached drawings, in which:
Fig. 1 is a perspective view of the topsheet constructed in accordance with an embodiment of the invention; Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken along a line X-X in Fig. 1; Fig. 3 is a view similar to Fig. 1 but showing another embodiment of the invention; Fig. 4 is a-view similar to Fig. 1 but showing still another embodiment of the invention; and Fig. 5 is a perspective view Of a sanitary napkin.
Fig. 1 is a perspective view showing a surface configuration of a topsheet 1 constructed according to an embodiment of the invention. The topsheet 1 comprises a plurality of first direction ribs 2 and a plurality of second direction ribs 3 crossing the first direction ribs 2 wherein each pair of adjacent first direction ribs 2 and each pair of adjacent second direction ribs 3 define a liquid-permeable opening 1. Each first direction rib 2 has a top 5 longitudinally extending in the first direction and opposite sides 6 curved downward from said top 5 to respective lower edges 6A. Each second direction rib 3 is flat and sheetliker longitudinally extending in the second direction and having a to-P 7 defined by its upper surface. The second direction ribs 3 are connected with the sides 6 of the first direction ribs 2 along their lower edges 6A or adjacent thereto, at respective crossings of the first direction ribs 2 and the second direction ribs 3, and thereby each pair of adjacent first direction ribs 2 are held to be spaced from each other by a predetermined distance so as to form a groove 10 extending in the first direction. This groove 10 comprises at its bottom the second direction ribs 3 and the openings 4 which are liquid-permeable.
Fig. 2 is a sectional view taken along a line X-X in Fig. 1, showing how the lower edges 6A of the respective first direction ribs 2 are connected with the tops 7 of the respective second direction ribs 3 and how the groove 10 is formed by each pair of adjacent first direction ribs 2.
Fig. 3 is a perspective view similar to Fig. 1 but showing another embodiment of the invention in which the tops 7 of the respective second direction ribs 3 are -h one of a pair of adjacent first direction connected wit -Jbs 2 adjacenz the lower edge 6A of this first direction -ib 2 but with the other of the pair of adjacent first direction ribs 2 at upper portion of its side 6. Also in,his arrangement, the groove 10 is formed.
Fig. 4 is a perspective view similar to Fig. 1 but showing still another embodiment of the invention, in which.he second direction ribs 3 are smaller than the first direction ribs 2 both in width and height but have the tops 7 and the opposite sides 8 which are similar to those of the first direction ribs 2. The tops 7 are connected with the opposite sides 6 of the first direction ribs 2. The tops 7 of the second direction ribs 3 do not project above the tops 5 of the first direction ribs 2 and each pair of adjacent first direction ribs 2 define the groove 10 -6extending in the first direction.
The respective components of the topsheet 1 are preferred to have dimensions so that the groove 10 has a width of 0.1 to 3mm as measured between the opposite lower edges 6A of each pair of adjacent first direction ribs 2, the first and second direction ribs 2, 3 have widths of 0.3 to 3mm, the first direction ribs 2 has a height of 0.2 to 3mm, the second direction rib 3 has a height smaller than that of the first direction rib 2 and the opening 4 has an 2 area of 0.1 to 9mm The first direction rib 2 has a thickness of 0.02 to 0.2mm and the second direction rib 3 has a thickness which is equal to or less than the thickness of the first direction rib 2. This topsheet 1 can be obtained by thermoforming suitable thermoplastic sheet such as polyethylene sheet. If the topsheet 1 is hydrophobic, the surface of the topsheet 1 may be subjected to a suitable treatment with a hydrophilic agent to control its wettability with body fluid so that the body fluid may rapidly spread in the first direction under a capillary effect occurring between the side walls of the respective grooves 10 and the body fluid.
Fig. 5 is a perspective view of sanitary napkin20 employing the topsheet 1 of the invention. The sanitary napkin 20 is tailored in rectangular shape which extends longitudinally in coincidence with the direction of the -7groove 10. In use of the sanitary napkin, the tops 5 of the respective first direction ribs 2 come in contact with user's skin. Consequently, the body fluid once discharged onto the topsheet 1 rapidly flows along the respective grooves 10 and spreads to the longitudinally opposite ends L-hereof. A quantity of body fluid flowing transversely of he sanitarv naDkin is correspondingly suppressed and leak of bodv fluid can be effectively avoided on both sides of k-he napkin 20.
The topsheet of the invention allows the flow of body fluid to be controlled by using the topsheet with the (-rooves being oriented in a predetermined direction and at.-ne same zime allows the body fluid leak to be prevented from occurring transversely of the grooves.
